EVMS Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

This team of doctors work on people with severe injuries and illnesses that have left them, in one way or another, incapacitated. The goal is to help the patient live their life the best that they can. I have been here to help a friend with chronic pain and their doctors have been extremely sensitive to his issues and have been extremely empathetic and nonjudgmental.
They do have a LOT of patients so trying to book an appointment quickly can be a challenge. Generally they do 6 month followups and don’t do anything sooner. When it comes to highly regulated drugs, they will not change your prescription between office visits. You are also required to do a consult with a psychologist and are subjected to random drug tests.
Their downfall, though, is that they are so busy and they may not be able to respond to requests, questions and concerns as quickly (if at all) as you would like. However, once you’re in the clinic and talking to the doctor, they are extremely nice and friendly.
